Methodology Lecture

Dr. Carr's breif but informative lecture focused around the concept of how one adapts to their surroundings. He gave suggestions on how teachers can engage their students and assist with their said adaptation. He also discussed the individuals tendency to conform to the norms of society when branching out as a form of survival.

Though that part of the lecture was interesting, many people found his sidenotes about the election of Barack Obama much more interesting. Suggesting that his election still does not make blacks and whites equal in our country, Dr.Carr said we need to stand behind him as a race to combat injustice and make the needed changes in the world.

Dr. Carr is typically a very powerful speaker and a strong person who inspires his collegues and students and I think this speech was another great example of that.
